# Keep a private diary
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/work-together/goals/diary

Write one private entry a day about how your music is going, and look back over past days.
Your diary gives every day its own page: how writing went, your mood, a lyric worth keeping. Only you can ever see it.

## Write today's entry [#write-todays-entry]

1. Add the **Diary** widget to your personal dashboard if it isn't there.
2. Start typing. Your words save as you go.

In the phone app, turn on **Diary** in your dashboard settings. It shows as a second tab of **Notes**.

## Look back [#look-back]

* Click the date to jump to any past day.
* Use the row of days to hop between recent ones. A dot marks days you wrote.
* **Today** brings you back.
* Reopen any past day to change what you wrote. You can't write ahead.

The flame shows how many days in a row you've written.
